8 die in terrorist bus attack in Burkina Faso
[DefensePost] At least eight people were killed on Thursday near Burkina Faso’s northern border with Niger, an area notorious for jihadist attacks, a security source and local official said.

“Armed men this morning stopped a bus going from Markoye to Dorbel in Niger. At least eight people were killed and the same number were wounded,” the security source said, an account confirmed by the local official.

The attack occurred at around 8 am near Tokabangou, about 10 kilometers (six miles) from Markoye in Oudalan province.
Attacks in Oudalan province are usually attributed to Ansarul Islam and other groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
